The American Taliban/MAGAts/Wing Nuts:

Former President Bush calls out MAGAts:

“We have seen growing evidence that the dangers to our country can come, not only across borders, but from violence that gathers within,” Bush said in a speech marking the anniversary at the Flight 93 Memorial in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

“There is little cultural overlap between violent extremists abroad and violent extremists at home,” he said. “But in their disdain for pluralism, in their disregard for human life, in their determination to defile national symbols, they are children of the same foul spirit.”

“And it is our continuing duty to confront them,” Bush added.
